Let’s not talk about wool, velvet or lace.
In its most basic forms and fabrics, leggings are a garment that you can have in your wardrobe continuously. The cotton and lycra lend themselves to comfort in the summer, and cover your legs better than the most opaque pantyhose in winter, where they are the star of the layering, or the modern note of a party outfit.
If you were wondering, they are NOT PANTS. That is, they are not made to be worn alone, but they are very versatile when combined. For that reason they have become an 4×4 garment that you must keep in your closet for the whole year.
